DUNNAM C. SELF 



Services for Mr. Dunnam C. Self, age 70 went home to be with the Lord on 
Thursday, November 11, 2004, after a long battle with Heart Disease.
The Self family moved to North Richland Parish, from Vernon Parish in 1947 
and began farming. He continued his love for farming until his health declined. 
Farming was one of his loves, but he loved the Lord, his church, family and 
deer hunting.

He had the privilege to raise his daughter, Vivian, from his marriage to 
Dorothy Louise Coates, and then he married his present wife, Catherine Gregory 
Self, to raise Amanda, Bruce and Rachelle. Not many of us are close enough to 
God to complete this task.

Dunnam was born May 5, 1934 to the late Oscar and Lucy Hayman Self. He was 
preceded in death by Roland Self, brother, Rachelle Stewart Self, daughter, 
Toney Poole, brother-in-law: A. L. "Hawk" Bonner; brother-in-law.

He is survived by his wife, Catherine Gregory Self of Holly Ridge; daughters, 
Vivian Garsee of Rayville and Amanda Holmes and husband, James of Swartz, LA; 
son, Bruce Stewart and wife, Terri of Holly Ridge, LA; granddaughter, Amy Boyte 
and husband, Michael of Oak Grove; grandson, Hunter Stewart of Holly Ridge; 
great grandson, Tucker Boyte of Oak Grove; brother, Pink Self and wife, Patsy 
of Holly Ridge; sister, Janice Bonner of Oak Grove, Edith Poole of Kilbourne, 
Ann Bonner and husband, Don of Bastrop, Evelyn Brown and husband, Hershel of 
Pineville, LA, June Cockerham Ryman and husband, Elmer of Bay City, TX.

Funeral services are 2:00 PM Saturday, November 13, 2004 at Richland United 
Pentecostal Church, Holly Ridge with Rev. Wayne Allen and Rev. William Carrington, 
and Rev. Floyd Duchesne officiating.

until service time at the church.
